 It  all  just  sounds  like  oooooh…  Mmm,  too  young,  too  dumb  to  realize  That  I  should                                have  bought  you  flowers  And  held  your  hand  Should                    h              ave  gave  you  all  my  hours   When  I  had  the  chance  Take  you  to  every  party  Cause  all  you  wanted  to  do  was  dance  Now  my  baby's  dancing  But  she's  dancing  with  another  man    Although  it  hurts  I'll  be  the  first  to  say  that  I  was  wrong  Oh,  I  know  I'm  probably  much  too  late  To  try  and  apologize  for  my  mistakes  But  I  just  want  you  to  know    I  hope  he  buys  you  flowers  I  hope  he  holds  your  hand  Give  you  all  his  hours  When  he  has  the  chance  Take  you  to  every  party  Cause  I  remember  how  much  you  loved  to  dance  Do  all  the  things  I  should  ha                          ve  don                e        When  I  was  your  man  Do  all  the  things  I  should  h                        ave                  done  When  I  was  your  man

Modal  Auxiliary  “Should”  

1. We  can  use  'should  have'  to  talk  about  past  events  that  did  not  happen.  

2. We  can  also  use  'should  (not)  have'  to  regret  past  actions.    The  modal  auxiliary  should  has  a  past  form,  should  have,  which  is  used  before  the  past  participle  of  a  verb.  When  this  past  form  is  used,  should  and  have  are  very  often  contracted  to  should've  (sounds  like:  shudov):  

Should  +  have  +  verb  (past  participle)    

should  have  been  /  should've  been  should  have  done  /  should've  done  

should  have  worked  /  should've  worked  should  have  stopped  /  should've  stopped  

 This  past  form  may  also  be  negative  (should  not  have  +  the  past  participle);  the  full  negative  with  not  is  also  contracted  to  shouldn't  have  (  +  past  participle)  very  often:  

Should  +  NOT  +  have  +  verb  (past  participle)    

should  not  have  been  /  shouldn't  have  been  should  not  have  done  /  shouldn't  have  done  

should  not  have  worked  /  shouldn't  have  worked  .  should  not  have  stopped  /  shouldn't  have  stopped  

 *  Should  have  and  shouldn’t  have  are  used  with  all  the  personal  pronouns  (I,  you,  he/she/it,  we  they)

Modal  Auxiliary  “Should”  

 *Fill  in  the  blanks  with  the  proper  structure  of  the  modal  “should”  when  regret  is  expressed  or  a  past  action  did  not  happen.    1. Amélie  ____________________________________________(buy)  the  iPod  from  the  Apple  store.    

2. I  _________________________________________________(not,  drive)  so  fast  to  go  to  the  party.    

3. Yesterday,  at  McDonald’s,  I  _______________________________________(order)  an  extra  cheeseburger.    

4. We  _______________________________________________(not,  tell)  Zack  that  Emma  was  with  James.  

 *  Write  two  personal  examples  using  the  proper  structure  of  the  modal  “should”  when  regret  is  expressed  or  a  past  action  did  not  happen.  Write  one  positive  example  and  one  negative  example.    1. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
